David Peter Mather (born 20 November 1975) is an English former first-class cricketer.

Mather was born at Bebington in November 1975 and later attended St Hugh's College, Oxford,[1] where he studied medicine.[2] While studying at Oxford he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Durham at Oxford in 1995.[3] He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 2000, making 31 appearances.[3] With his left-arm medium pace bowling, Mather took a total of 58 wickets at an average of 44.22, with best figures of 6 for 74.[4] These figures, which were his only first-class five wicket haul, came against Cambridge University in 1998.[5] He also played one first-class match for a combined Oxford Universities cricket team against Somerset at Taunton in 2000.[3] After graduating he became a plastic surgeon.[6] In addition to playing first-class cricket, Mather also played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire twice in the 1999 Minor Counties Championship.[7]
